Let's do a quick breakdown. The dominant films of her career include Queen, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Manikarnika (since she yells so much about it) and Tanu Weds Manu. Queen was a movie made by an alleged sexual abuser. So let's NOT call that feminist at this point. https://twitter.com/KanganaTeam/status/1306144144725667840
Tanu Weds Manu and Tanu Weds Manu Returns uses the same tired trope of a woman ultimately settling for the arranged marriage she did NOT want in the first place. And Manikarnika was a film that was based on a great female character in history yes. But I'm not sure how feministic
a movie can be that doesn't humanise a larger than life character and caricaturises her and also peddles jingoism. Also it's a pathetic movie let's face it. We shouldn't be having this conversation in the first place lmao.
